• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ham Radio on the Spyder

Just wondering if anyone has installed a 2meter/70cm radio on the spyder using the CB antenna hole/mount on the bike. If so suggestions as to placement of the rig, routing etc.

Thanks gents and ladies "73"
 
A Google search on this "ham radio site:spyderlovers.com" will bring up previous discussions about ham radio. One or two have done it but I don't think they're active here any more.
 
YES , several have

There are several here on this forum that are HAM operators that have installed
2-6 & 10 meters on their Spyders, using the SENA SR10 and cable to make it
bluetooth
Give me a call.
Dave 73's to you

Sure have:

Temporary setup, taklie on handlebars, dual band amplifier in box strapped to back seat, temporary antenna on fiberglass mast clamped to trailer hitch.

I now have a Yaesu FTM-350 dual band mobile on my Spyder, need to take some pictures. Another FTM-350 that I need to mount on the wife's Spyder.

You can see some of my mobile antenna here, mounted to a piece of aluminum flat:

For the wife's RT I have a Diamond or Comet stick-on NMO mount covering most of the hole for the left-side antenna, with the small coax going down that hole.

And yep, use Sena SR-10 to connect to the radios.
